security

Please be advised that beginning on October 1, 2020, hours of operations will change for two of the Port’s security checkpoint.

  • Security Checkpoint 3 (Eisenhower Blvd. and SE 17th St.): Will be closed to all inbound and outbound traffic. The only time this checkpoint will open is when cruise ships are in port. The closure is due to budget reductions approved by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners on September 22, 2020, and to account for reduced activity due to Convention Center construction.
  • Checkpoint 2 (Spangler Blvd./SR 84 and US 1/Federal Hwy.): Operating hours have been reduced. The new Checkpoint 2 hours will be from 6 AM to 6 PM daily.
  • Checkpoint 1 (I-595 and Eller Dr.): Hours of operations will remain at 24-7.
  • Checkpoint 4 (McIntosh Rd.): Hours of operations will remain at 24-7.

As always, if there are emergencies or other events requiring access or extending hours for Checkpoints  2 and 3, please contact Robert Jenkins, Security Manager, at rojenkins@broward.org or 954-468-0119.


Security is a top priority at Port Everglades.  Ensuring a safe and secure environment for enterprises as well as individuals has become a critical, built-in function of the Port's infrastructure.

Capital Improvements Program
Port Everglades completed a massive $48 million security infrastructure program after the terrorist attacks in 2001. The strides in security enhancements and improvements have been significant. Spanning several budget years, the results have been measurable. Key highlights of this program include:

  • Construction of a new Security Operations Command Center
  • Closed-circuit television monitoring systems at all entrances
  • A new barrier wall to protect hazardous materials
  • Staffed access-control gates that separate traffic flow and facilitate passenger and cargo movement
  • Radiation Portal Monitors monitored by U.S. Customs & Border Protection to screen all containerized cargo leaving the port via truck transport
  • Tighter perimeter barriers with fencing around restricted areas throughout the entire port
  • STARS (STOLEN AUTOMOBILE RECOVERY SYSTEM) cargo x-ray system
  • Technologically enhancing Foreign-Trade Zone #25 with monitored security cameras, an upgraded fire alarm system and an automated inventory control system
  • State-of-the-art X-ray screening area in Southport Container Complex which allows U.S. Customs and Border Protection to scan containers as they depart the docks, resulting in more efficient movement of cargo

Since 9/11, the number of Port checkpoints were increased. Law enforcement has had an even more prominent presence. Identification badge requirements and background checks are strictly enforced. All of the state-of-the-art security enhancements put in place to date are making Port Everglades stronger and safer.
